True Love Travels on a Gravel Road Songtext
von Percy Sledge

How many girls choose cotton dress whirls
When they could have satins and lace
To stand by her man
Through good times and bad
Still keep a smile on her face
How many hearts could fill the winters we′ve known
And still not turn cold

Oh, true love travels on a gravel road
Love is a stranger and hustlin' danger
On the smooth streets paved with gold
Oh, but true love travels on a gravel road
True love travels on a gravel road


Down through the years
We met hard times and tears
But it only helps our love grow
And we′ll stay together
No matter how strong the wind blows
Not once have I seen your blue eyes fill with envy
And straggin' from the world that you hold

Oh, true love travels on a gravel road
Love is a stranger and hustlin' danger
On smooth streets paved with gold
Oh, but true love travels on a gravel road
Oh, true love travels on a gravel road

It′s gonna get rough sometime
But true love travels on a gravel road
I want you to travel with me little girl
True love travels on a gravel road
You know it′s gonna get rough sometime
But...
